MLB Team Gave 21-Year-Old Phenom From Nicaragua A Contract “On The Spot” After He Embarrassed 3 MLB All-Stars In One Inning At WBC (VIDEO)

Here’s an incredible and heartwarming story to make your day.

Duque Hebbert, a 21-year-old pitcher on the Nicaragua’s World Baseball Classic roster, earned himself a contract with the Detroit Tigers of Major League Baseball following a short and sweet outing against Dominican Republic on Monday.

In Monday’s game (a 6-1 win for Dominican Republic), Hebbert struck out three of Dominican Republic’s top hitters in Juan Soto (San Diego Padres), Julio Rodríguez (Seattle Mariners) and Rafael Devers (Boston Red Sox).

As noted by Front Office Sports, Hebbert has never actually played for an affiliated team of a professional baseball club. But it just took one special outing for him to get noticed and to land his first MLB contract.

Duque Hebbert is 21 years old and has never played affiliated professional baseball.

Last night, pitching for Nicaragua, he struck out three MLB all-stars.
